Benfica attempted to disrupt the deal for Bruno Onyemaechi at the last moment, trying to enter the race to sign him. However, the player had already decided to join Olympiacos and declined all other offers.

Benfica showed interest in Bruno Onyemaechi, the Nigerian international left-back from Boavista, but Olympiacos secured the player despite their interest. Olympiacos completed the deal with Boavista for a fee of 2,500,000 euros. The transfer was competitive, with Fenerbahce and two French clubs also expressing interest. Bruno Onyemaechi is expected to arrive in Athens to finalize his move.
